private eyes

they're watching you.



so, that's bailey's Chinese Water Dragon that she picked up today. it doesn't have a name, yet, but seeing that this thing can live for 15 years and get three feet long, i guess she'll have to name it. to make everyone feel old - if it lives to expectancy, Bailey will be 27 at that point.

27.

but the new pet madness doesn't stop there. taking a cue from Norah and the fish tank, who gets one? that's right. I do... just kidding. abby & emma picked up one yesterday and couldn't wait till today to get fish for it.



emma got two dalmation molly's and abigail got steve and steve - two yellow fancy guppies. good thing there's only four fish - we can't afford to feed that many more. what's that emma? babies swimming - no, it's probably poop....

guh. buy four and apparently the go into shock and kick out some babies in the tank - lovely.



(black things in corner)

anyway, so, now the pet total in decreasing total:

10 fish
2 dogs
1 cat
1 turtle
1 rabbit
1 chinese water dragon

awesome.

at least we're not the allens and have 20 cardboard cows in the front yard:



yeah, that was interesting.

Well, if I were naming a lizard and at the risk of choosing an obvious name, I would call it (is him or her determinable?) Elizabeth. And, of course, I would call it Lizzy for short!

not that you asked for names for dragons #grin#: Hordeshyrde or Fáfnir but perhaps too norse.
Suan-ni, or Qing Long being more chinese.

... Okays, you've lost me on the cows.
